11-Month Warranty Inspection Services in Arizona's East Valley
Protect your investment with our comprehensive 11-month builder warranty inspection before your new home’s warranty expires.
What Is an 11-Month Warranty Inspection?
An 11-Month Warranty Inspection is a comprehensive evaluation of your newly built home performed before your builder’s 1-year warranty expires.
This specialized inspection helps homeowners identify and address potential issues covered by the builder’s warranty, potentially saving you thousands in future repair costs.
Most new homes in Arizona come with a 1-year builder’s warranty that covers construction defects. By scheduling an inspection at the 11-month mark, you gain valuable time to submit warranty claims before coverage expires.
Without a professional inspection, hidden issues may go undetected until after your warranty ends, potentially costing you thousands in out-of-pocket repairs.
Why You Need an Inspection Before Your Builder's Warranty Expires
Even newly built homes in Mesa, Chandler, Gilbert, and throughout the East Valley can have significant construction defects that aren’t immediately visible.
Our certified inspectors have found serious issues in new construction homes that builders had to fix at no cost to homeowners.
Builder Accountability
Ensure your builder addresses any issues covered under warranty, rather than you bearing the burden of repairs after warranty expiration.
Proper Documentation
Get detailed reports with photos that provide the evidence you need to submit successful warranty claims to your builder.
Peace of Mind
Gain confidence that your home is in good condition or that any issues will be addressed before your warranty expires.
Cost Savings
Avoid costly repairs after warranty expiration by identifying issues while they’re still the builder’s responsibility to fix.

What Our Clients Say
Google Review
When buying a house one of the most important things you can do is get a home inspection and its even more important when you haven’t seen the house except in pictures and you’re moving from another state like myself and family are doing.
My agent recommended Craig and his company, and I couldn’t be happier with the service, quick turn around, attention to detail and knowledge. Craig also answered my phone calls and answered all my questions. He’s a super nice guy and easy to talk to and I would definitely recommend.
If you need a home inspection, go with HIPOAZ. You won’t be sorry.

Craig is is amazing!
My husband and I used him as our inspector when we purchased our first home.
He was very thorough in his inspection process and explained his findings in great detail.
In addition he was very easy to reach and was flexible with our schedules.
Overall I would definitely recommend HIPOAZ!

Craig was so quick to respond to my quote request and very professional. I had him do a pre drywall inspection on my new build and he was beyond thorough.
My builder did nothing but say how amazing the inspector was and was impressed at the things he found.
I was a tad skeptical about a pre drywall inspection on a brand new house, but I am glad I had Craig take a look.
